Image 44: War
The global headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy, the core control center of the Dome of Light.
Luo Feng sat alone in the control room.
Before him, on the enormous virtual screen, the blood-red color representing the global beast tide had already submerged all coastlines.
Alarms sounded simultaneously at major war bases around the world. The blaring sirens that tore through the sky announced the coming of war.
China, Northeast Military Region Frontline.
An eighteen-year-old soldier, stepping onto the battlefield for the first time in his life, gripped the cold, high-energy laser gun tightly in both hands. His palms were sweaty, and his heart was pounding.
He could clearly feel the war base beneath his feet, cast from a special alloy, trembling violently.
He followed everyone's gaze and looked towards the distant sea.
The black dividing line was rapidly expanding and rising. In just over ten seconds, the line transformed into a colossal wall that blotted out the sky.
That's not water! It's an endless stream of monsters!
Ferocious fangs, a single horn piercing the water's surface, a carapace gleaming with an eerie light, wildly dancing tentacles... countless limbs, numbering in the billions, come together to form a wall of flesh and blood hundreds of meters high!
They swept towards the human defenses with a savage force capable of crushing everything!
"Fire—!!!"
The commander's hoarse roar echoed across the defensive line through the loudspeaker; it was the last order the young soldier heard.
"Buzz—buzz—buzz—!"
In an instant, all the turrets in the base went into overdrive! Blazing white high-energy laser beams and whistling electromagnetic railgun shells tore through the air, blasting huge blank areas into the vanguard of the beast tide.
Thousands upon thousands of low-level monsters were instantly vaporized in the extreme heat.
However, these areas that had just been cleared didn't even last a second before they were relentlessly filled in by the monsters behind them!
A pale blue energy shield was instantly activated, enveloping the entire war base.
Immediately afterwards, the hundred-meter-high wall of flesh and blood collided with the pale blue light curtain!
A sickening scraping and squeezing sound filled the air. Tens of thousands of monsters were crushed into mincemeat the moment they hit the energy shield, but the impact was firmly transmitted to the shield.
"Sizzle—"
The energy shield flickered violently, as if it would shatter completely at any moment.
The first clash between human civilization and an extinct beast tide began in a way far more brutal than anyone could have imagined, setting the stage for a bloody spectacle.
Faced with an endless tide of beasts, humanity's proud defensive firepower appears so pale and powerless.
The battle lasted less than an hour.
The defense lines of all major war zones around the world were simultaneously under attack!
"Warning! Warning! The left flank of the Europa united defense has fallen! Casualties are rising exponentially!"
"The outer wall of the Third War Base in South America has been breached! Detection of the King-level monster 'Ocean Butcher' entering! Requesting backup! Repeat! Requesting backup!"
"Warning! The energy shield in area C3 of the Southeast Base is overloaded by 370%! It's about to collapse!"
Inside the control center, the main screen in front of Luo Feng was divided into hundreds of images, each depicting a battlefield intertwined with blood and fire.
Lord-level, and even king-level, powerful monsters, under the cover of endless low-level cannon fodder, began to systematically attack the structural weaknesses of various war bases.
Beneath the waters of the Northeast Military Region of China, a high-level lord-class sea beast, the "Hissing Sky Beast," over ninety meters long, is violently ramming its single horn against the steel foundation of the war base!
Each impact sent a tremor through the entire war base.
Despair, like a silent virus, spread in the hearts of soldiers in various war zones.
Faced with a horde of hundreds of millions of beasts, all of humanity's resistance seemed to be nothing more than a futile struggle.
Just as the energy shield of the Northeast War Base was about to completely collapse.
A dazzling blade of light descended from the sky and disappeared into the sea below.
The blade flashed and disappeared in an instant.
The next moment, the Sky-Screaming Beast, which was crashing into the foundation, froze. A line of blood appeared in the center of its head and quickly expanded.
"puff--"
Its massive body was cleanly sliced in two. Foul-smelling blood gushed out.
A powerful councilor wielding a blood-red battle blade hovered in mid-air above the base.
Behind him, even more streaks of light were rushing towards him from the distant horizon!
"All members of parliament, heed my command!"
Luo Feng's voice, transmitted clearly through an encrypted public channel, reached every corner of the globe.
"The decapitation operation...begins now!"
The most advanced military force of human civilization has finally arrived on the battlefield!
"Babata! Data!"
Inside the control center, Luo Feng's eyes were bloodshot, but he remained calm.
"receive!"
After being completely transformed by Babata, the "Dome of Light" system finally reveals its true terror!
"Target locked: Southeast China Theater, Elementary King-level monster 'Three-Headed Flood Dragon'. Optimal attack path planned and being sent to Councilor 'Jia Yi''s' personal terminal in that theater!"
"Target locked: West Coast Sector of America, Elementary King-class monster 'Dragon Turtle'. 'Ice Emperor' Merhandson of that sector has been notified and is advised to coordinate an attack!"
Precise intelligence reports, accompanied by 3D simulated vulnerability images, were simultaneously sent to the communication wristbands of every member of parliament around the world within a second.
The councilors, who were struggling to find their target amidst the endless horde of beasts, now seemed to have activated a "God's Eye" that only existed in a game.
They no longer need to expend their precious mental and physical energy to conduct reconnaissance on their own.
The only thing to do is to carry out the most efficient decapitation based on the "task list" sent by Luo Feng (Babata) in real time!
To further motivate these top-tier individuals on Earth, Babata even temporarily created a virtual hunting list and placed it in the upper right corner of all councilors' field of vision.
[Global List of Killed Congressmen]
First place: Fourth Councilor 'Ister' (Europa War Zone) - King-level monsters x3, High-level lords x10.
Second place: 'Merhandson' (America War Zone) - King-level monster x1, High Lord x13.
Third place: Jia Yi (China Region) - King-level monster x1, High-level lord x9.
Fourth place: 'Tripati Singh' (Indo-Vatican War Zone) - 13 High Lords.
……
This blatant real-time ranking instantly ignited the competitive spirit of these usually proud and arrogant top experts!
"Hahahaha! Merhandson, you old bastard, are you even competent? I've already killed three King-level beings, and you're still entangled with a bunch of lords!"
Fourth Speaker Easter's arrogant laughter echoed across the public channel.
"Hmph, what's the use of comparing quantities?!"
The Ice Emperor Mohanderson snorted coldly, but his movements became even faster, and ice spears pinned a high-ranking lord to the spot.
The communication channel instantly became a stage for lawmakers to compete with each other and frantically compare their achievements.
"I'm leaving this place to you for now!"
Looking at the temporarily stabilized global war situation, Luo Feng said to Wang Yi, the chief technology officer who was standing beside him in a daze.
"Ah? Yes! I understand... I understand! Inspector Luo!" Wang Yi stammered in response.
The next second, Luo Feng's figure disappeared from the control panel.
Above the global headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy, Luo Feng rode the Sky Shuttle, transforming into a streak of light at terrifying speed, heading straight for the front line of the Southeast Military Region, which was under the greatest pressure in China at the moment.
Upon arriving at the battlefield.
Without pausing for a moment, Luo Feng leaped directly from a height of ten thousand meters and plunged headlong into the core area where the beast tide was most concentrated!
"Buzz—"
Drive your mental power to its limit!
Dozens of throwing knives burst forth from behind him, transforming into a dazzling yet deadly torrent of blades under his mental control!
Wherever this torrent passed, whether they were high-ranking lords or ordinary beast soldiers and generals, they were all cut into pieces by the sharp blades.
Luo Feng was like a tireless meat grinder, carving out a large vacuum zone with a diameter of over a kilometer amidst the beast tide!
Meanwhile, in his mind, Babata's supercomputing capabilities were still operating, taking in the dynamics of the entire Southeast Theater and constantly sending kill orders to him and other councilors in the theater, such as Jia Yi.
With precise command and strong support from Luo Feng, the pressure on several defense lines in the Southeast Theater Command that were on the verge of collapse was greatly reduced.
As the soldiers watched the senator slaughtering monsters in the sky and the young figures charging through the beast tide, their extinguished flames of hope were rekindled.
"For our homeland! For humanity! Kill!"
"The warriors are here! We can win! We will definitely win!"
Driven by the power of the warriors, the morale of the human side soared to unprecedented heights, and after paying a heavy price, they finally managed to temporarily stabilize their crumbling defenses.
However, at a time when all of humanity on Earth is fighting a bloody battle for the survival of civilization.
Deep in the Pacific Ocean.
In an ancient darkness and deathly silence.
The golden-horned behemoth lay quietly on the seabed, having just devoured the wreckage of an ancient warship. At this moment, the newly sprouted horns atop its head shone with a dazzling and solid light.
An even stronger aura than before is brewing and taking shape within its body.
